If you want to see what will happen to the US in 20 years look at what happened to Europe. 20 Years ago they started paying very much higher costs for Gasoline, their businesses started to have to pay out pension funds to retired workers and bankruped many companies doing so. Today we are faced with many simular situations, rising gasoline costs, aging work force and pensions out of control. China on the other hand is doing exactly what we did to Europe. Buying all the oil It can cheaply, out working us, out buying us and out consuming us. In 20 years we will look like Europe Ecomonically and china will look alot like us today...

Our country will be totally integrated into a "free trade" zone with most of North/central/south America. The only way we can compete with the Chinese is with the coop oration of these lower waged countries.
Quebec may separate from Canada and form a similar Free trade zone with Europe (maybe just France). Europe will fall apart, with Germany, Poland, Austria and the cezh republic forming a new EU. England will join the our free trade zone. Russia will break into many small countries.
Borders will be less important as companies will continue to dictate policy to our governments.

I think the US economy could potentially crash as personal debt is out of control. I also think India and China will be superpowers along with the US. I also bet there will be turmoil in the Middle East (what a stretch!).

A massive festering craphole of ooze and slime with death and decay and little life left on it. The nuclear plants will have split and the oceans will cover most of the land. The heat will be immense, the smell horrific and vile. Massive cockroaches will have adapted to become excellent swimmers and maneaters and will consume what humans survive. A living hell, that's what.
or
It will be just about like today with better technology.
